This is an opportunity to take your spinning beyond the ordinary into the world of contemporary art yarns. We will focus on construction and balance along with texture and whimsical yarn interpretations. Time will be spent on how to spin a thick and thin single, beehives and coils, corespinning, adding foreign objects such as buttons, beads and other goodies, spinning with fabrics and combination spinning. We will also card wild and crazy fiber batts for spinning.
Skills Required: You will need to know the basics of spinning on a wheel such as drafting, spinning a single and how to ply. Bring your imagination.
STUFF TO BRING (students): – wheel, bobbins, lazy kate or a small box to use as a kate and a niddy noddy if you have one.
– about 10 ounces of wool roving or carded batts.
– Freshly spun bobbin full (100-200 yds) single (med-bulky) do not set the twist, just leave on the bobbin. You can mix all kinds of fiber and colors in this single.
– commercial laceweight or sock yarn (about 300 yards)
– anything that strikes your fancy such as fabric, buttons, felted beads, spools of novelty thread, etc.
– drum carder, if you have one.
STUFF I BRING:
– Lots of wool rovings, raw wool, mohair locks and roving, batts, nubs, sequins, threads, novelty yarns. You are free to use all of what I bring for the class.
– Two drum carders, a few niddy noddies.
– Several extra spinning wheels.
I encourage everyone to bring something for show and tell.
